Travel; Moving Directional/Speed Control - Toyota 7BPUE15 Service Manual

Section 9. Theory of Operation

Travel

Travel
General
When the potentiometer voltage increases or
decreases from the neutral deadband, the
direction (TF/FORWARD or FF/REVERSE) and
speed (TRAVEL REQ) to the traction power
amplifier. The voltage from the steer/tractor
manager is directly related to the speed request.
As the input request changes, the travel request
voltage to the traction power amplifier mirrors
the change.
When a change in direction is requested, the
request to the traction power amplifier and
changes the speed request output (TRAVEL
REQ) to reflect the requested plugging strength.

N : The current flowing through the drive
OTE
motor armature and field windings are
controlled independently of each other
by the traction power amplifier.
1. When the throttle is moved to the forward
position (tractor-first)
variable resistor (VR-1) is moved so that
the voltage output decreases. The carriage
manager, sensing this decrease in voltage,
sends a communication message over the
transmit line to the tractor manager. The
tractor manager interprets this a s a
request for travel in the forward direction
and causes the following to occur:
N : For clarity and simplification, only
OTE
circuits directly related to vehicle travel
will be traced on the remaining
operation of the travel system diagram.
All are with respect to (WRT) TP4 (B-).
2. The TF/FORWARD line to the traction
power amplifier is activated (driven to
about 19VDC). This is the input to the
9-2 2
, the wiper in the
Toyota Orderpicker Model 7BPUE 15 Service Manual
traction power amplifier which will
determine the drive motor field polarity to
enable travel in the forward direction.
3. The traction power amplifier will then drive
its internal field control transistors to turn
the drive motor in the correct direction.
4. Simultaneously a n analog voltage, which
represents and is proportional to the
throttle command, is outputted from the
steer tractor manager and sent to the
traction power amplifier. This voltage
(TRAVEL REQ) ranges from
WRT TRAVEL REF. Based on this, the TPA
will control the strength of the field and
armature to obtain the proper travel speed
in the appropriate amount of time. The
higher the voltage the faster the TPA will
make the truck travel.
N : Travel speed is limited until the operator
OTE
requests steering and the steer/tractor
manager detects the request.
5. The TRAVEL REQ voltage is used by the
traction power amplifier to drive the
armature and field transistors to meet the
throttle request. The armature transistor
is, in effect, connecting terminal M- to B-
(in varying amounts) allowing current to
flow through the drive motor armature.
The traction power amplifier will also drive
its internal field transistors which, in turn,
will control the amount and direction of
flow through the drive motor field winding.
When a plug is requested, the
direction request to the traction power
amplifier and changes the speed request
output (TRAVEL REQ) to reflect the
requested plugging strength. Current now
flows from B+ through:

Drive motor armature
B-
To battery negative
6. During operation, the traction power
amplifier monitors for:
